Take a whimsical dive back into the 70's with this book, "Looking Around the Teenage Set" written by an 18 year old. You can almost hear Marvin Gaye singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and Al Green crooning "Let's Stay Together." The red-hot Embers, Chicago, Santana and the Temptations released wave after wave of fabulous music. The town was Rocky Mount, North Carolina, but it could have been anywhere USA. Vietnam, college deferments, and President Richard Nixon soon to be destroyed by Watergate cast shadows of darkness onto the historical backdrop. The enthusiasm and innocence of a sparkling generation determined to change the world were in sharp contrast to the political woes surrounding them. The year before the book begins, Rocky Mount Senior High's Blackbirds had just integrated with Booker T Washington's Lions, ending the school days of segregation. The two high schools combined forces to create the mighty Gryphon, a mythological creature which is half lion, half bird. Take a gentle walk along memory lane back into 1970-71, a nostalgic time filled with friendships, optimism and humor. Reconnect to the high school days of yore.
